Great work Manny, I really enjoyed that. You really nailed it here, combining useful technical information with some really artistic and atmospheric b-roll - it's really hard to deliver both effectively. Loved the POV shots too, may I ask what you used for that? Looked like an action cam looking down on the camera combined with something better quality filming the back of the camera maybe on a bracket? Either way, it looked really good. PS - I was in new York for the launch too, and heard you were there, but sadly didn't see you. Hope you're keeping well! I'm ploughing through my boring comparison shots for my review!

[@chrisxglass]

About a year ago, I fully switched my kit from Sony to Fuji. Mostly for a lot of the same reasons you talk about here. The Fuji cameras I tried out inspired me to want to shoot. I got the X100V first, for all of my EDC/personal camera needs. For my professional work camera, I went with the GFX100S. The big difference in the two helps keep that line between work and personal like you talked about. I am considering one of the new X-H2 bodies for something in the middle though. Haha

[@Metal_Vistas]

The x100 series is Fujifilm's gateway drug. The X100T hooked me... now I look like the poster child for G.A.S.

[@RobertMossack]

I have to disagree with the statement that because the retro dials were omitted, that the X-H2 feels like a traditional camera. The retro styling of the earlier Fuji's DO feel like a traditional camera. The X-H2 might feel like a modern camera, but not so much like a traditional camera.

I’m going to rent the Xh2s asap. It’s usually rented out for at least a month ahead of time. The other issue is that it probably wouldn’t look the best if I try to match my Sony a 74 with the Fuji for my wedding films. So I would have to make a complete switch.

After using the XH2s autofocus, there’s basically nothing the H2 can do to win me over. I’m done wasting time and energy on soft/missed or chasing focus. I’ll trade the extra 15mp and 2K video every single day to know the autofocus got it right with the h2s when I need it to take over. I can’t believe they didn’t do more to match the autofocus to the h2s since they could’ve been such a strong pair. The h2 is arguably the stronger photo camera where autofocus should feel as good as the h2s.

[@ronin6327]

I think what fujifilm did with the H series is very smart. Fujifilm wants something for everyone, those who want more of a "professional" style camera will go with the XH2/S. Those who want that classic feel/style can go with the XT series, let's just wait and see what the XT5 will be like. No doubt it will be awesome.

But I love how on this, they lowered the profile of it where it’s almost in line with the top plate. It looks fantastic, and I bet it’s super comfortable to use.

[@eksmaan]

The guts of the XH2 bodies are amazing. The ergos; mushy thumb stick, lack up tactile inputs, front and back dials don’t push in, S/C/M toggle is a button now, HDR/S/M/CL/CH is gone too. I love me some Fuji but this camera was definitely not made for me. In my opinion, the XH2 isn’t designed for “professionals” , it’s designed for users that are moving from systems with a similar UI/ergos BUT adding the unexplainable Fuji flare. I think Fuji had to make a decision; capture THIS market and risk pissing off a few long time customers or keep us customers happy. From a business standpoint, they did the right thing. If they strip away things that made the XT/X Pro/X 100 series special, they’ll have potentially soured the customers that gush about how amazing Fuji is. Or, that customer *may move to a GFX system BUT as you stated, this design is in the. GFX 50s II and 100s bodies. The XS10 has this language too and I avoided that camera. Solid 48 breakdown man. I think you nailed it in saying the images come out looking like memories. And they aren’t always perfect and that’s what makes them special.

I keep telling myself I'm done buying Fuji cameras. For one thing, the x-trans that drives me nuts in Lightroom...and next, I didn't need or want a shutter speed dial or exposure comp dial (OK if there's one, but I'd rather have the top screen). So now...here they come with a 40 MP sensor with IBIS and in a great DSLR style body I like to use. Dang it. Have one on order now. A few other things I like...the grip, the upgraded EVF, dual card slots that are just like my Z7 II (CFexpress + SD), the option to change aperture via the command dial instead of the lens aperture ring (never liked using the ring). Well, I assume since there's no SS dial and we have a traditional DSLR style setup that you can assign the aperture changes to the front or rear dial (think I saw that in the XH2s owner manual). I think this will be a nice pair/second camera to my Z7 II. I've always enjoyed the Fuji experience overall, even with the dials I didn't need, but this body should really tick all the boxes for me.

[@ThePhotographyHobbyist]

@@blade1535 I loved the X-H2 and I had zero problems with it. Image quality and the autofocus (including AF-C / tracking) is excellent. I ended up switching back to Nikon because I bought the X-H2 BEFORE the Nikon Z8 was announced. I generally prefer Nikon high end cameras as my default choice, but I had no idea how big and how much $ the rumored Z8 would cost (at the time I didn't even know if the Z8 rumors were real, when it would come, etc). So I bought the X-H2 and was totally happy with it, but once the Z8 came out I decided to get the Z8 since it was better than I expected it to be. Long story short, I would have been perfectly happy with the X-H2, if the Z8 didn't exist. I have a photo gallery on my website with some X-H2 photos if you'd like to see them. Just go to my KZbin profile and you'll see my website. There's a link to the X-H2 gallery on the main page.

Looking for them to add the ability to add ISO to one of the command dials like the previous cameras via firmware update. Being limited to Aperture and SS doesn’t make much since, given that all native lenses (as far as I know of) have aperture rings. That level of customization really set us apart from other companies. But with this, it makes me feel like we’re heading towards an overly digital set up that takes away from some of what made Fuji so special and different. It’s like they tried to please sony users with this, which isn’t necessary. I think the ISO button is a great addition, as long as our options aren’t taken away. That flexibility with the dials is more suitable for fast paced shooting in my opinion. My set up was Right Index on Front Dial (SS), Thumb on Back Dial (ISO), Left Hand under lens for Aperture - it was so intuitive and fluid as opposed to having to press a button and change the ISO on screen.

Hermano...Gracias! I love Fuji. I have had the XT1, XT2, XH-1 and X70. I love Fuji for all of the reasons you mentioned. I just sold my Leica SL2-S and Q2. I love the image quality of Leica but not cost of lenses for the SL2-S, especially with my Son in graduate school and my Daughter in high school The other reason I sold them was because of the slow auto focus. I missed many shots of my Son and Daughter who both run cross country and track. The auto focus is just awful. So I'm without a camera trying to decide between the Sony A7IV or Nikon z7II. Been watching your reviews for a few years and need your advice.

[@AsuquoTravelsProductions]

Like he said in the video, Fuji went all out for the XH2S and XH2. I own the XH2S and it's been a fantastic camera especially when it comes to Autofocus/ speed for my video/photo needs. I will be adding the XH2 once it's out from the 29th of this month.

@@AsuquoTravelsProductions seeing how the Sony a7iv is a hybrid camera… how does the fuji do with both photos and video… and how are the frames per second ??

[@albertogvphoto]

SONY A7IV

[@chamberhartphotography]

I said this on another video on the xh2 but i'll say it again. The high iso performance ive seen on this is pretty amazing for a crop sensor camera. I'm almost sold on getting this

[@luisv8431]

Now you can extend the film simulations of Kodak in your Fujifilm camera with FujiXweekly

[@Paul-iv7wq]

I don't understand why you don't use lens hood for lenses.

[@jorgemendez4517]

Now with programs like DXO the ISO issue isn’t an issue anymore

[@marcuswilson3978]

As much as I loved the review, am I the only one who can see the burnt out look in his eyes. I don't see the same excitement that we normally get in his videos. His tone of voice, facial expressions... everything. Manny are you ok dawg? I hope all is well for you my man 🙏🏾

[@victorfernandezfernandez]

Totally with your family pics thoughts. I'm a videographer and also like photo, and I shoot every family meeting with Fuji too! :)

[@BaldManVisuals]

Hey, Manny, great video! Which camera would you recommend for real estate video and photography? Fuji XH2, XH2s or Lumix S5iis? Thanks!

[@MikeKleinsteuber]

I agree that the images are better than any XTrans 4 Fuji camera but are they worth the upgrade ? I don't think so. The move from the XTrans 3 to the 4 was huge but the one from the XTrans 4 to the 5 is very small by comparison and not worth a change.

[@Festvangelist]

The film simulations are great fun in Jpeg. I even like bracketing film simulations. Really fun to see the creativity straight out of the camera. Looking to buy the XH2 or XS 10. Just need to rent the CH2 to test it and feel the ergonomics.

[@AVTeknik]

be honnest - the lowlight performance is really bad

[@shermn8]

I left Canon after forever and switched to Fujifilm...XT20, XT4, XT5 and just now the XH2. More affordable than the other hitters!

[@georgekyriazi]

Hey Manny, I’m new-ish to photography and have been between Fujifilm and Sony for the most part, but as I’m not planning on professionally shooting, I’m now leaning toward Fujifilm. This video honestly played a huge part in that. A lot of what I plan to capture is family and daily experiences while wanting to push that envelope to become a great photographer. I’ve read that a lot of people recommend the XT range for people newer to photography purely because of the dials and tactile nature (I will say I am tactile with how I learn) however, I do plan to use the camera for video 25-50% of the time. I’m kind of between the XT line and XH line but am having a hard time deciding. I know they’re both awesome obviously. Any recommendations between these two?

[@CreepyJoe69]

Go with the XH2... Future Proof + Value For Money...

[@tonyjames2144]

Go with a X-T5 or a X-H2 Cheers

[@andrewcheung8608]

Hey Manny! I love this video! I have the Fujifilm xt3 and have been looking to upgrade my camera. I’ve been shooting Fuji ever since the x100 which got me into shooting. But am noticing a real difference in image look and feel compared to cameras like Sony. I’ve been really intrigued by the A7IV but also the XH2S. How would you describe the image quality of the two platforms? I get why you use Fuji for daily life. I feel it has a filmic look and nostalgia to the pics. Moment captured feel “real”. Whereas Sony and Canon pics I see have an extremely sharp “commercial” look to them. (Not sure if I’m describing it right) but I’m a creative doing the occasional photography and video work so considered switching systems. It’s not my main line of work but I’m a big photography fan. Would appreciate your thoughts on this! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Jeo-What]

"......Pro-feeling camera.... autofocus... much more sticky ...It isn't Sony or Canon good..." these phrases keeps showing up on X-H2/s reviews and I am glade that I upgraded correctly this time from the X-H1 to ....Sony A7 IV... WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

[@courage4224]

This is the first time I’ve been this early to a video 🎉 keep up the dope work bro u have help motivate me to keep push in my photography journey

[@itsbabar]

@4:00 your reviews about camera are now funny because it doesn't make any sense to me how come any camera you chooses to shoot suddenly become worse for you. How come ? and the reasons you put to switch makes most of us laugh because being a PRO you should (must) have seen it before you switch to it ..... isn't it ? if you didn't then ..... well lets not talk negative here :)

[@powderedtoastman3093]

When photographers like this newb rely that badly on autofocus and taking burst shots they complain that the shots aren’t precisely on the eyes… how did the commercial photographers ever do it without autofocus.

[@dolyharianto]

I think Sony nailed the sleekest "modern" camera designs with A7 series, A7C and ZVE10. Nikon Z30 and Fuji XH2 are aping these designs which IMO is great because they now look less outdated and sleeker.

[@BTMovieSecondChannel]

I don't agree. I MUCH prefer how the Fuji XH2(-S) looks from both front and back compared to an A7 series. The grip on the Sony has a different texture than the camera, making the design less cohesive, and I like the eyecup of the Fuji much more. That said, I really liked the Sony like 10 years ago because it looked so modern, it's not bad at all either.
